Can’t get enough of crime fiction? Why not try Malcolm Mackay’s multi-award-winning series. Heralded as ‘the rising star of Tartan Noir’ (Independent), his Glasgow Trilogy takes you deep into the murky Glaswegian underworld, where there’s every chance you’ll find yourself double – or triple – crossed before the night is over.

The first novel, The Necessary Death of Lewis Winter, follows twenty-nine-year-old gunman for hire, Calum MacLean. A casual phone call leads to a target: Lewis Winter. But MacLean knows how hard it is to kill a man well, and he also knows that if he doesn’t do it right, there will be consequences . . .

The sequel, How a Gunman Says Goodbye, asks the question ‘How does a gunman retire?’ Frank MacLeod was the best at what he does. Thoughtful. Efficient. Ruthless. But is he still the best? A new job. A target. But something is about to go horribly wrong. Someone is going to end up dead.

And the stunning conclusion to the trilogy, The Sudden Arrival of Violence, finds two of Glasgow’s biggest criminal organisations at deadly war with one another. And as Detective Michael Fisher knows, the biggest and bloodiest manoeuvres are yet to come . . .

For fans of Peter Robinson or Ian Rankin, the sparse prose, memorable characters and complex moral issues in this brutal and unflinching series will have you gripped throughout.
